Add full double barline

• Jul 20, 2018 - 20:32

I'd like to be able to insert a full double barline, with TWO thick vertical bars instead of one thin and one thick. This was used in all of the multi-movement pieces published by Breitkopf & Härtel to indicate the end of the entire piece, as opposed to the end of the movement.

It's a great visual convention and this type of barline could be added to MS without sacrificing the regular double barline.

It won't help you much immediately, but the bar lines are included under the symbols in the master palette in the Bravura font. Unfortunately there is no easy way to include them in a score. For example, you cannot put it in the barlines palette and use it in place of another bar line. This does mean that a programmer should be able to add the bar lines if they wanted to.

Should I hold out hope that this feature may be added to MuseScore? I've attached an image of the last few measures of Schubert's Great C Major Symphony to illustrate. Movements 1–3 end with normal double barlines (thin followed by thick).
